Before a war, it's not that the emperor gave you an official position, and he doesn't care about anything.

Anything, or when there is a change during the period, it must be submitted to the Imperial Historian's Office for review, and then Liu Che has to approve it.

At this time, the prime minister is particularly embarrassed, I don't know when it started, the position of the prime minister has nothing to do with military power and military affairs.

Zhang Yuan presented all his thoughts in written form on the cantata, and then excerpted the things that Wei Qing and Chu Da needed to know and sent them to the two.

After waiting for three days, Zhang Yuan's recital was sent back.

But there's one more word on it.

Can!

Zhang Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and most of the uncertainty before suddenly was gone.

This is not a simple inquiry, but a strategic question of the Hungarian War, during the Battle of Mayi, Wang Hui and they made plans for countless overthrows and reconstructions, and it took about two months to come up with a complete plan.

And Zhang Yuan completely listened to the opinions of Wang Qing and Yan Yi, and coordinated a complete and detailed strategic plan by himself.

If Liu Che had agreed after a glance, if it was less, he would have sent the piece back in two days, but it took three days.

During this period, the ministers must have been convened after countless discussions, and these ministers must not include Zhang Yuan, Weiqing and Chu Da.

Being able to get everyone's recognition is also one of the reasons for Zhang Yuan's peace of mind, Zhang Yuan is not a good commander or a strategist after all, he just relies on his advanced cognition and memory in his mind to check and fill in the gaps in the Han-Hungarian War.

"Send a letter to Daxing Chu Da and ask him to attend the meeting at Dinghu Yanshou Palace tomorrow."

Zhang Yuan said to Lao Zhao, who had just sent the chapter in front of him.

"Whoa."

Everyone didn't know what Zhang Yuan was doing, but they could feel the tension.

Everyone up and down the Zhang Mansion was very sensible, and they didn't say a word more.

Even the confessor on Princess Pingyang's side who pulled paper and sent money according to the routine did not come to Zhang's Mansion with the curiosity of the past.

The next day, Zhang Yuan washed and dressed with the help of Zhuo Wenjun, led a horse and rushed to Dinghu Yanshou Palace.

When I arrived, I found that the three floors inside and the outer three floors were all soldiers.

The people who come and go are also generals dressed as military generals.

"Who's coming?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the soldiers who surrounded him, and felt that the guards here were a little too strict.

It was originally in Shanglin Yuan, and it was the emperor's palace again, so there was no need to be nervous like this.

However, Zhang Yuan did not embarrass these people, and threw the seal ribbon from his waist.

"The villain has seen Taixue Ling, and the former general is already waiting for you inside."

The questioner honestly held Zhang Yuan's seal ribbon with both hands and handed it back.

This time is a little different from the past, Liu Che is not in it now, and Zhang Yuan is much more relaxed.

Wei Qing's whole person is still in that state of abiding by the rules, only a part of the front of the Dinghu Yanshou Palace has been activated, and the palace where Liu Che used to live with the concubines has been banned.

The front hall was used as a place to give important orders, and several side halls were converted into offices for various officials and generals.

Although Zhang Yuan's plan was only one person or a few people, it was much more troublesome to implement it.

It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to dispatch the grain and grass of the army.

It was necessary to form a slave army in advance and transfer the slave army to the northern frontier, and a large number of people had to be requisitioned.

The troops of the various counties should also be slowly mobilized to Shanglin Yuan, not to need these kingdoms and counties and Hou Guobing to go to the army, but to put the forces of the princes under Liu Che's nose.

Otherwise, when half of the troops near Chang'an are drawn, and there is turmoil at this time, it will not be easy to deal with.

Even if he does this, Liu Che may have to bear a large amount of grain and grass consumption, but at least he can change his peace of mind.

That's how it is to pull the hair and move the whole body.

"Brother Yuan, you're here."

Wei Qing showed a big smile when he saw Zhang Yuan.

Having Zhang Yuan really saved him trouble, and when things at the strategic level came out, he, a former general, suddenly became an executor, and his troubles were reduced by half.

"Uh-huh, take out the map, and we'll talk about it in detail."

Zhang Yuan asked Lao Zhao and the others to tinker with the sand table, but they couldn't do it in a short time, and now they can only point out the country on the flat map.

Wei Qing unfolded the map on the table in front of him, and the map of the entire desert and a small number of maps of the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty were displayed in front of the two.

"Brother Yuan, what you mean is to let Li Guang, Li Xi and others lead an army of 50,000 and all the slave troops from Shangjun Qiuzi City to the north to attack the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries.

We led 50,000 cavalry to set out from Yanmen with only seven days' worth of dry food, marched westward, went around to the Yinshan Gaoque, and then plugged this gap, waiting for the arrival of the Xiongnu fleeing north, and then closed the net. ”

As soon as he came up, Wei Qing briefly explained Zhang Yuan's meaning, and as for those who sent a team of envoys to lure the Huns south, Wei Qing did not say anything.

Since he is now the executor of Zhang Yuan's plan, then he is responsible for his own part.

The city of Qiuci that Wei Qing said was actually a large number of refugees from the Western Regions who went east to join the Han Dynasty a few years ago, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked people to give this city on the edge of the Great Wall at the forefront of the fight against the Xiongnu to this group of people from the Western Regions.

Among this group of people, there are the most people from Qiuci Country, so it was renamed Qiuci City.

And the frontier army of the Han Dynasty also has a branch stationed here, called the subject state captain.

To the north and west of Qiuci City was the area controlled by the Xiongnu, but to the east was the Xihe County of the Han Dynasty.

The Great Wall stretches from northeast to southwest here, unlike Yanmen County and Shanggu County, which stretches from east to west.

At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, Henan was still under the control of the Han Dynasty, but now because the large desert is not suitable for people to live, and the Qiang people and the Xiongnu are too frequent, the Han court slowly forgot about this place.

"Well, in the spring, Henan has the most storms, and the wind and sand of the Kubuqi Desert can blow all the way to Qiuci City.

The Huns did not dare to enter the desert at this time, and the wind and sand were the most able to cover the oasis.

The most important thing is that the territory of the Evil King Hutu is separated from the King of Loufu and the Aries King from these deserts.

If they want to support King Lou Fu and King Aries, it is also their inevitable choice to go from the height of Yin Mountain.

My idea is to make Gaoque a meat grinder, whoever comes, who dies, and destroy the entire Huns in Henan, we can go north to Touman. ”

Zhang Yuan looked at Manchester City on the map, but spent a few points on the map in his mind.

These points are not recorded on the map, but Zhang Yuan remembers them very clearly.

This is the place where Wuyuan County was later held, and Zhang Yuan remembered one thing about Manchester City.

Touman, Guanglu, Zhizhi and Surrender are on the same line.

A line from northwest to southeast is also the war route for the Han army to go north out of the Great Wall to pursue foreign races after the construction of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty.

All of a sudden, Zhang Yuan instantly thought of the Yinshan Mountain Range, and then the second gap in addition to Gao Que.

Stone barriers.

But after Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully for a long time, his nervous heart relaxed.

He was really worried that there were other gaps in the Yinshan Mountain Range, and once there were, and the army could be allowed to pass, the Han army might really fail.

After repeatedly confirming in his mind that the stone barrier was made by manpower, Zhang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Yuan, why are you suddenly nervous?"

Zhang Yuan's expression also fell into Wei Qing's eyes.

"It's nothing, it's just that I think of something, it's nothing."

"Uh-huh.

Brother, do you have any other plans? ”

"Where did I just say?"

"Speaking of straight to Manchester City."

"I want to build a city outside the Saiwai!"

Zhang Yuan said what he wanted to say in his heart with great certainty.

He didn't tell Liu Che about the construction of the city.

It can be seen from the incident in Qiuzi City that foreigners can only surrender and take refuge outside the Great Wall, so that both sides can have a sense of security.

Zhang Yuan wanted to build a city, which naturally meant that he wanted to build a surrendered city.

As can be seen by the name of the surrendered city, this is a city that accepts the surrender of the enemy.

If there is no such specific condition, it is very difficult for Liu Che to build a city outside the Saiwai.

After all, there is no danger to defend, and it turns out that after the establishment of the surrendered city, it has also experienced several changes of hands.

The symbolic significance of the establishment of this city is far greater than the practical significance, but Zhang Yuan has to do this, and the system task must be completed.

Could it be that God gave Zhang Yuan a bunch of surrendered Huns out of thin air, it is impossible to think about it.

"Brother Yuan, do you want to build a city in Henan?"

Wei Qing's cognition of the outside is still in the present, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with what Zhang Yuan said.

"I'm talking about building a city north of Yinshan and existing as a bridgehead for the Han Dynasty's war against the Xiongnu."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Wei Qing directly shook his head.

"This move will not work, there is no law for the Huns to go south, even if we occupy Yinshan, they can go south from Yanmen, and they can go south from Yuyang.

In this case, we only need to send a small number of troops to block the gap in Yinshan, and then concentrate our forces on the eastern border counties to resist the Huns moving south. ”

Just like Wei Qing said, if you can really solve the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries in one fell swoop, then the Hetao area and Henan will be included in the bag of the Han Dynasty.

In the future, there will basically be no war here, such as Gaoque, if a fortress is built here, only 10,000 troops are needed to block tens of thousands or even 100,000 Xiongnu from moving south.

The Huns are not fools, they have never gnawed hard bones, the east of Yanmen is a horse and a flat river, and the number of Han people is also large, suitable for plundering.

Even if Henan was recaptured by the Han Dynasty, the Huns would not feel sorry for this half of the desert.

Moreover, the Huns were very insensitive to the border, and they only felt that the place where there was pasture was their place.

"Former general, Taixue Order, Daxing Order is waiting outside."

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to continue persuading Wei Qing, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Let the Great Order in."

Wei Qing shouted loudly.

After a while, Chu Da walked in.

"Ah Yuan, former general."

"Brother Chu, you are here."

Zhang Yuan knew that Chu Da was coming, so he planned to build the city later.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so don't rush to this time.

"Ah Yuan, I have received all the letters you sent to me, but this time I came for those special symbols?"

"No, it's just that with Brother Chu, I will finalize the route of the envoy's team.

After that, go to my house and talk about something else. ”

"Uh-huh."

Since it is said that Chu Da will be sent to the Elite Country, then he must do a good job.

The first stop of the envoy's team must be Qiuzi City in Shangjun, where it has been said that a large number of people from the Western Regions live here.

There are people from all countries, and it is most appropriate to find a guide here for the first stop.

At the beginning, Zhang Qian's envoy also brought a Hun guide, if it weren't for his guide, how could a group of Han people stay with the Huns for so many years.

Then it's up to you to see if you want to go straight west or northwest.

If you go directly to the west, you will fall into the arms of King Hutu, and if you go northwest, you will be able to step into the territory of King Loufu and King Aries.

How to deceive the Huns, when the time comes, it will depend on the cooperation of the alien guide.

When Zhang Yuan talked about Qiuzi, Wei Qing frowned, and immediately said out loud.

"Brother Yuan, in fact, if you want to step into the territory of the Aries King of Loufu naturally, you don't have to go from Qiuzi City.

Exit from Pingding City in Xihe County, find a Hun guide, and then go all the way west, passing through the southern edge of the Kubuqi Desert.

This large open space is an area where Lou Fu Wang often moves, and it is also one of the routes leading to the Hexi Corridor. ”

If you want to go to the Western Regions, you must go through the Hexi Corridor, which is everyone's cognition.

The people from the Western Regions in Qiuci City were actually Hu merchants, and the reason why they took refuge in the Han Dynasty was because things were robbed by the Huns and the Qiang people, and they had no choice but to take refuge in the Han Dynasty.

One of the strange things about this era is that the Huns didn't really have much passion for killing.

To be honest, they killed ordinary people and didn't even kill as many people as they did during the internal chaos.

Whether it was the Han Chinese, the people of the Western Regions, or the surrounding nomadic peoples, the Xiongnu were mainly based on looting.

Maybe they also know that killing people won't bring them anything, but if they are all alive, maybe they will be able to rob them a second time.

The characteristics of nomads seem to be like this, when they are not aiming to occupy and rule, their murderous intent is not so heavy.

So when Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan were chatting about sending Chu Da to the Huns as an undercover agent, they didn't mention the possibility that Chu Da might be killed as soon as he met the Huns.

I didn't mention it not because I was afraid of hurting Chu Da, but I really thought that as long as I didn't resist, the Huns would not kill everyone if they were idle.

"It's my negligence, I don't need to choose a guide from the Western Regions, a Hun guide is also possible.

Then since this is the case, it can be decided directly, from Xihe County to Pingding City all the way to the west, when the time comes to find a guide, you can release some news.

They are all Hun guides, and there will always be someone who will pass the news to the king of Lou Fu and them. ”
